“Breaking Bad” had its season finale after 5 seasons on
AMC. At this point I could live without
cable as the rest of my television viewing is on network television.
The writing held up until the very end. While some dramatic series have a tendency to
get overly complicated, Breaking Bad kept the focus on the morality struggle
and the motivations of the various characters.
I started watching Breaking Bad after the second season was
already in flight. I caught up the first
season pretty quickly. The drama was
just violent and edgy enough to hold my attention.
In contrast to “The Sopranos” and “House,” “Breaking Bad” tied off all of the loose
ends. A lot of the living characters
from past episodes made an appearance. I
felt like the series ran its course as opposed to oddball twists getting thrown
in to arbitrarily extend the story line.
That is currently happening to “Sons of Anarchy.” The story line has completely fallen apart.
